Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) vs Ring Battery Doorbell Plus

What owners say

Owners of both doorbells like the head-to-toe view that shows packages on the ground, clear two-way talk, easy installs and support that replaces faulty units. Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen) owners single out the low cost, the included Sync Module and batteries with optional wiring to a chime. They complain that the new Sync Module drops local storage and pushes them to a paid plan, that without one motion alerts are generic and that sensitivity cannot be adjusted, plus some quality-control issues and drop-outs in extreme cold. Ring Battery Doorbell Plus owners single out the quick-release battery and roughly five minute install and sharp video with color night vision. Their warnings are that saved video and smart person or package alerts need a paid plan, that the battery drains faster with heavy alert traffic and that it recharges by micro-USB.
